  • E-stop emergency-stop
  • the number of degrees of freedom of this holder 200 is limited to only 3 rotational degrees of freedom and also not a compact one.
  • the gripping of the holder 200 acts on the middle of the edges of the tablet so not recommended for all tablets, because, some tablets may have tablet controls like power button, volume controls, display controls in the middle of the edges.
  • the gripping support surface area is also small and hence not so safe for the bit heavier and larger tablets.
  • the principle object of the present embodiment is to provide a holder for convenient mounting of a smartphone/tablet used in the field of test and measurements.
  • the holder includes the provision for corner gripping, larger supporting gripping surface, concealed cabling for power supply/charger and additional E-Stop device and or any other important hardwired button such as RESET, ON/OFF, etc.
  • the holder is also having provision to mount rotary encoder and its electronic hardware to facilitate actuator or cross-head movement through jog-wheel.
